Nervos AppChain v0.2 release note

We are excited to announce the release of Nervos AppChain v0.2. :tada::tada::tada:

:muscle: In this iteration, we are focusing on improving developer experience for making it easier to build and deploy DApps. Much of our efforts have gone into the bugs fixing, documentations improving and functions strengthening.

:wrench: In addition, we pre-released a new tool - NeuronWeb, which is a chrome extension wallet that is similar to MetaMask.
With this tool, developers can conveniently debug DApps in a PC environment, to adapt them for our smartphone wallet Neuron. The official release of v0.1 of this tool will come very soon.

:potable_water: We have also open sourced a Testnet Faucet project, which can let developers to start their own webpage for dispensing test tokens.

:blush: Three DApp demos for learning how to develop on Nervos AppChain is also included in this release :

  • Token Factory: A Token Creation DApp that we migrated from Ethereum
  • Nervos-API:An interactive demo for most of API methods of nervos.js
  • Pet-shop:A demo shows how to deploy the classic Truffle Box demo pet-shop-box on Nervos AppChain.

:page_facing_up: We updated document of Nervos Network and Nervos AppChain. Please refer them for more information.

:warning: Attention: :warning: After this release, we will update the CITA version of Nervos AppChain Testnet to v0.18.We are sorry that this upgrade to v0.18 is incompatible with v0.17 (in terms of Json-RPC interface and Nervos SDK, please refer the release note of nervos.js for more information). We apologize for your inconvenience.
